Exhibition - Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan

  • MOCAD - Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This exhibition was co-curated at MOCAD by Janie Paul and Steven Bridges, acting director of the Eli & Edythe Broad Museum. Janie will offer a reading of her book at the museum on May 18th.

MOCAD is proud to partner with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum and the Michigan Justice Fund to present the timely exhibition, Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan. Making art can be a transformative experience helping us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art shifts how we see and understand the world around and within us. Free Your Mind invites us to consider these qualities of art while also grappling with the effects of the carceral system. The presentation of this exhibition in Detroit is especially crucial considering the construction of the new Wayne County jail.
